The matches imitate a video game. Two TikTokers stream side-by-side, divided into “red” and “blue” teams. As a timer counts down from five minutes, they go to wild and kooky lengths to get their fans to send them these gifts.
The creativity to create things like these battles is interesting
We really are fleshy machines that just need our buttons pushed the right way to get us to obsess over almost anything
Was it a baseball? It bounced quite a bit and looked a lot like a light rubber ball
The ball they used to demo it again this time probably wouldn’t have broken a pair of reading glasses
It’s what people thought modernity would look like back in the 70’s and 80’s - all function and no form
Or even worse - PIPs exist as a paper trail that that shows the employee knew they were on the chopping block
I’ve rarely seen people’s PIP fairly evaluated; they are just fired at the end of the PIP term
“a bunch”?
Container ships can carry over 200K tons
How many mini split heat pumps and air exchangers did you put into your place
Overall, we should be net $5K with an installer because of rebates, but it’s good to know cheaper alternatives are available
How does a mini split system work? Does it plumb into traditional ducting?
Edit: just looked them up. Also found out that a friend out East with an older, oil heater house (no central ducting) was quoted a mini split for their place at over $20K
Our place is a four bedroom, two storey with a basement. I wonder if a mini split with the requisite air handlers would be cheaper
On a side note, we have a West facing room with large windows that I have to run a portable AC and space heater in as it’s temp is always extreme vs the rest of the house. A mini split just for that room would be great
I’m not sure, likely somewhere between 5-7 years.
We wouldn’t have done it if our furnace wasn’t shot. As a plus our A/C leaked it’s freon in the winter, so replacing it was an improvement as well.
$12K for the heat pump and furnace. We’re expecting a $7K rebate (did the replacement before the audit because the old furnace died)
The heat pump I just had installed in SW Ontario hands over heating duty at -10C to the gas furnace
I don’t know if deeper thread branching is a good idea. I’m already struggling to find Slack comments from people who are in multiple channels and DMs each with various threads off of a main comment
He’s a more techy Steve Jobs. And a complete asshole
Why do people think robo taxis don’t exist yet?
They do, and they cause a lot of havoc on the roads where they operate (San Fran)
It sucks, but autonomous cars are, in fact, real
I believe that wide adoption of self-driving cars will take a while, but there are already autonomous taxis running around San Francisco
As mentioned in another thread, there is a paintless dent repair video on YT of a fix done to the corner of a Rivian rear bumper
The owner claimed that he was quoted $41K. To do the work, they would need to cut the body all the way up to the front of the roof
The PDR fix was close to perfect in this case
Good to hear it’s decent. The more competitors in the mid-price EV market, the better
What are each of their earnings and prospective earnings?
